Mr. Kindergarten: Beginning to Wind Down
http://misterkindergarten.blogspot.com/2014/05/beginning-to-wind-down.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. Beginning to Wind Down. We had both PE and music this morning, the last Friday of this kindergarten year. We jiggled the schedule because Andrew had been down with springtime allergies on Wednesday, his usual day. Our music session was an all-request day. We will have one more bike day on Monday and our last PE day with Mrs. Campbell on Tuesday. Yes, the year is beginning to wind down. We'll do more of these on Wednesday. Have a good weekend.

Mr. Kindergarten: This Will Revolutionize Education!
http://misterkindergarten.blogspot.com/2014/12/this-will-revolutionize-education.html
Monday, December 1, 2014. This Will Revolutionize Education! The claim in the title of this post has been made for decades going back as far as Thomas Edison. It's been wrong every time. We now live in an era where experts tell educators that tablets. Are going to revolutionize education, but it's just ain't so. These experts have a clear motive for spreading their nonsense: PROFIT. From sales of tests and tablets and income from selling teachers the latest snake oil. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, May 20, 2014. For the past few days we've been busy working on some new art—cityscapes—to display at the front of the room.

Mr. Kindergarten: Mending
http://misterkindergarten.blogspot.com/2014/12/mending.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. Almost two weeks have passed since my surgery at Kaiser San Francisco. I was released from the hospital on Sunday, December 14. I have been quietly recuperating at home since then. My family has been by my side and for that I am grateful beyond words. The cards, messages, and gifts that have come from Dunham community have buoyed my spirits. Thank you for taking the time to send your good wishes my way. Great to hear such a positive update!

Monday, June 2, 2014. The Bicycle's Last Hurrah. This was the last day for bikes in kindergarten this year. Mrs Zell assembled us for a photo. And she took this movie, if I can figure out how to add it to the blog:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). California’s Biggest Estuary. Soundabet Will Close Its Doors June 30, 2016.

Mr. Kindergarten: Eight Week Update
http://misterkindergarten.blogspot.com/2015/02/eight-week-update.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Eight weeks ago today I underwent major open heart surgery to fix a problem I was born with. For more than 30 years I had been aware that I needed to have this surgery. Last October, it was clear that I needed it, and I began a two-month journey to the operating room. Along the way, doctors had told me that it would take about eight weeks to recover. In the first days after surgery, it was hard to believe that. So happy to hear you are doing well! February 8, 2015 at 8:59 PM.

http://misterkindergarten.blogspot.com/2014/05/wednesday-may-28-2014.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Wednesday, May 28, 2014/ TED talk. It was Ivan's day today, and he brought a very nice snack for the class—drinkable yogurts, meat and cheese sandwiches, apples, strawberries. It was also Jacob's birthday and he brought in brownies to share. Tomorrow will be Jacob's day for sharing. Our music teacher, Andrew was ill today so we used the time to watch an instructional animated video about blending words. Most of the class really knows how to blend CVC words now.

Mr. Kindergarten: Introducing the Calculator
http://misterkindergarten.blogspot.com/2014/05/introducing-calculator.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. In our math program we're asked to introduce the calculator in kindergarten. We did that today. If you want to follow up at home, I suggest you use counters to work simple addition and subtraction problems and then check the work using a calculator. Work within your child's existing level, aiming for easy problems, not hard ones. Remember our intent at this point here is to introduce. The calculator, not explore the outer edges of what they might know about arithmetic. New Set of ...
